Record the source from which the latest follow-up information was obtained.

This data item is used by hospital and central registries to identify the most recent source of follow-up information. This item will be used to calculate the Follow-Up Source data item for CoC requirements. It is also used at the Central Registry to reflect the source of information contained in the fields for vital status and date of last contact, particularly when these data come from external file linkages (see codes 01-29).
